init_params_lm_gprior: Initialize the parameters for a linear regression

In drkowal/rSTAR: MCMC and EM algorithms for Simultaneous Transformation and Rounding (STAR) Models

Initialize the parameters for a linear regression

Description

Initialize the parameters for a linear regression model assuming a g-prior for the coefficients.

Usage

init_params_lm_gprior(y, X)

Arguments

y	n x 1 vector of data
X	n x p matrix of predictors

Value

a named list params containing

1. mu: vector of conditional means (fitted values)

2. sigma: the conditional standard deviation

3. coefficients: a named list of parameters that determine mu

Note

The parameters in coefficients are:

• beta: the p x 1 vector of regression coefficients components of beta

Examples

# Simulate data for illustration:
sim_dat = simulate_nb_lm(n = 100, p = 5)
y = sim_dat$y; X = sim_dat$X

# Initialize:
params = init_params_lm_gprior(y = y, X = X)
names(params)
names(params$coefficients)
